Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Blacklisted
Schwartz had no intention of helping me. He was rude, dismissive, unhelpful. I believe I'm blacklisted by surgeons because I had complained about a surgeon and immediately after, I began having difficulties with doctors. Maimonedes staff even told me my chart had an alert on it. Don't waste your time going to a doctor who holds confirmation bias against you without having even met you.

Very uncompassionate. Didn't know about my condition (Tarlov Cyst disease) Didn't allow me to explain my symptoms. Didn't look at my MRI. Kept asking me to sit despite me stating how much it hurt. He acted like I was faking my symptoms. It was the coldest visit I ever had. Traveled 50 miles round trip in pain to see him. I asked if he ever heard of Tarlov Cyst disease? He answered " I know what Tarlov Cyst are and they aren't symptomatic".
